Westbank First Nation Forest Tenures Overview Map

In 2013, WFN was granted a Replaceable Forest Licence adjacent to our community forest in the Upper Kettle watershed with an annual cut of 32,400m3.  In 2015 Ntityix began the process to move the operating area associated with this license plus an additional 6,000 hectares into a First Nation Woodland Licence.  In 2025 the First Nation Woodland Licence replaced the Replaceable Forest Licence and using our Seven Generation Plan as guidance, the annual allowable cut was set at 24,425m3/yr.
